The Playmation Marvel’s Avengers Starter Pack ($120) comes with Iron Man Repulsor Gear (which players strap to their arms), two power activators (used for combat), and two starter smart figures (Captain America and Iron Skull — others can be bought separately). Upon removing the items from the box, Tony Stark’s A.I. guide, J.A.R.V.I.S., walks “new recruits” through using the Repulsor Gear (how to attack the enemy and how to defend yourself). Players can then accept missions (25 are included with the starter pack, and more are available via the free AvengersNet app) or engage in free play.

Kids can boost the magic and fun by expanding the size of the castle! Just turn the crank and watch the castle “grow” taller and taller! Specific accents, like a mirror and a window, turn around to reveal a special moment from the film.
